IMPROVEMENT IN WASH-STANDS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 165,296, dated July 6,1875; application filed 1 June 2, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NATHAN O. BOND, of Fairfax Court-House, in the county of Fairfax and State of Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wash- Stands; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description therof, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification This invention relates to the construction of a portable wash-stand, having a reservoir and waste-bucket, and in the combination of certain new and novel constructions and equivalents, to be hereinafter more fully described by the annexed specification and aid of the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of my washstand, with the bowl and cover raised, fully showing the reservoir and feeding-draw. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of Fig. 1, showing the parallel movement for lifting the waterbucket; also in dotted lines the position of the bucket before raising. Fig. 3 is a view of the pump and attachments. Fig. 4. is aperspective view of a modification and equiva lent when the bowl is sunken on an inner lid. Fig. 5 is a top view of Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is an inner view of the lid in Fig. 4. Fig. 7 is a view of the connection between the reservoir and cover, permitting the top to be raised and the supply and waste-buckets to be removed.

I I construct an ordinary portable wash-stand, A, having, a front door, a, opened by any suitable handle. Upon the bottom of the washstand is constructed a parallel action, 13, with These are connected to the platform 0, upon which .rests the washbucket D. In raising the bucket D, and platform (J, inward and upward, the buckets edges are made to surround the bottom of the bowl. By this means, when the bucket 1) is' required to be emptied, it will indicate the same by making a level in the bowl M-that is to say, the bucket being full, the water cannot pass through the waste. At the back of the washstand is placed a reservoir, E, which is sup plied with water by means of a draw, 0, and delivering-pipe f, having an indicatingfloat, g, for the purpose of registering the height of the water, and thereby preventing overflow. In the reservoir, and at the bottom thereof, is a V-shaped pump, H, which it is my intention to make the subject of a separate application, constructed to be operated by a simple rod, h, which is let down into a square-formed recess or socket, and motion is imparted by pperating a handle upon the top of the wash-stand; and the supply from the pump is given to the bowl through the medium of a simple rubber hose, I, or, as in the equivalent in Fig. 7, by metal connectionL and rubber-joint K. In those stands illustrated by Fig. t, which are to be manufactured cheaply, there is provided the raising top N, and bowl M, with rubber-joint connection K, as hereinbefore described, in which stands two common buckets (metal or otherwise) constitute the reservoir and waste, easily removed by raising the top N, and this is held down when closed by bolt 11. also, there. are provided draws x, for towels, .&c. In the equivalent, Fig. 4, the pump is a simple tube, having'one double-action valve, and the ban dle Y of the pump is made to pass freely through the lid N, upon its being raised.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

I. In a portable wash-stand, the combination of a reservoir, operated by a pump, with a waste-bucket, which is lifted up under the bowl and held in that position, substantially as and for the purposes specified.

2. The draw F, when constructed to feed a tanker reservoir from the side thereof, sub stantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own invention, 1 affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

NATHAN OSCAR BOND.
